Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cucumber, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 slices rye bread (I like pumpernickel the best)
3 -4 tablespoons unsalted butter or 3 -4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 radishes, thinly sliced
4 slices smoked salmon
8 shrimp, cooked, peeled and sliced lengthwise
dill, to garnish
lemon wedge, to garnish

Steps:

  • Lightly "pickle" the cucumber by finely slicing it and tossing it with the salt, sugar and lemon juice. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread the rye bread slices with the butter or cream cheese. Arrange the radish slices on top, then top with folds of smoked salmon. Drain the cucumber and layer this on top of the salmon. Top with the cooked shrimp.
  • Sprinkle fresh dill over the smorrebrod and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing. Serve 2 smorrebrod per person.

Yield Makes 8 open-faced sandwiches, serving 4 as a light main course

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pound medium shrimp (38 to 40)
1/4 cup chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
2 firm-ripe California avocados
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
8 slices rye bread
8 leaves Boston lettuce
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled capers

Steps:

  • Cook shrimp in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Shell shrimp.
  • Whisk heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, then whisk in sour cream, horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Halve, pit, and peel avocados, then slice crosswise. Drizzle slices with lemon juice.
  • Spread butter evenly on 1 side of each bread slice and put lettuce on top. Arrange shrimp, avocado, and onion over it. Spoon dollops of horseradish sauce on sandwiches and top with capers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This is another ingredient that can make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Be generous with the toppings. The toppings are what really make this dish special, so don't be afraid to add plenty of them.
  • Serve the smorrebrod immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp smorrebrod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it is also a great option for a light lunch or dinner. With its combination of fresh shrimp, creamy mayonnaise, and flavorful toppings, shrimp smorrebrod is sure to please everyone at your table.
